CLEANING UP CAMPAIGN FINANCE

Getting rid of nameless, faceless, out-of-state money

I firmly believe that campaign finance laws must be reformed -- nameless, faceless, out-of-state money should not try to tell you how to vote. We must start with real-time, mandated disclosure of who is contributing money. Citizens United was one of the worst decisions in the Court's history; unfortunately, it now frames the economic reality of campaigns. The first step toward electoral integrity is transparency in funding. How can we demand transparency in government if we cannot even get transparency in our elections?
